Complex rehabilitation treatment after knee arthroplasty

Knee arthroplasty can significantly improve the quality of life patients with knee osteoarthritis. About 20 % afterknee unsatisfied surgical treatment results. One factors that reduces unsatisfactory results is useof new rehabilitation technologies. Objective. Investigate feasibility and effectiveness proposed system within2–3 months after arthroplasty. Methods. A prospective study two groups osteoarthritis arthroplastywas conducted. The group БР consisted 28 who did not undergo special treatment. Р consistedof 30 underwent in hospital within 2–3 surgery. were comparablein terms age body mass index. Flexion extension angles operated measured bothgroups 5–6 course included: massage musclesof lower back, buttocks, thighs, leg foot on side; performing physical exercises twice a day fortwo weeks. Methods non-parametric statistics used to process statistical significance differences forunrelated samples was checked using Mann-Whitney U-test (CMU), for connected ones, Wilcoxon test (CV). Results.After rehabilitation, flexion angle rate increased 1.3 times amounted 90° (90°; 100°) (КВ, р < 0.01).In during same period partial regression, amounting 100° (100°; 110°). rateof both change. But Р, all had deficiency operatedknee, it disappeared. In БР, knee, decreasedslightly, but disappear. Conclusions. use arthroplastyrestores volume movements risk contracture joint (especially extensioncontracture) restores normal stereotype walking.
